The commercial starts out with Mr. Teeter telling us about how his back has been hurting since his 40's, and nothing he tried helped with his pain.
He invented the "Hang-Up", which is a slab you lay down on. You strap your legs and feet into the slab, board, whatever, and then you hang nearly upside down! This is supposed to "decompress" your disks and relieve the stress from your spine! FRICKIN' AMAZING!!
All these years, people have been experiencing backaches, taking medication, going to doctors, even having surgery, and all we needed was a swinging board that you hang upside down on.
Mr. Teeter claims a million people have bought his product, yet I've only witnessed the commercial recently on Investigation Discovery.
Why can't I think of some bullsh*t to sell to people?

Well, congratulations to Mr. Teeter for inventing the concept of...traction!

I admit it - I'm dense (and I need 'Focus Factor') - Mr. Teeter reached well beyond a million, if he's sold a million - and I never even heard of him, or his product!
But I HAVE heard of traction.

They are inversion tables which have been around for a long time.

Call me crazy here, but I'd think the last thing I want to do while I'm in pain is hang upside down.

ohhhh...THOSE!!!
Thanks, Tiz - I really wanted one of those for quite a while...wanted to see if there really is anything to the spine-stretching and supposed pain relief - still curious.
But maybe I shouldn't try it...
If I have days like today where I couldn't remember if I had underwear on, I could be in real trouble on one of those...possibly stranded; heck - I'd starve to death - or at the very least, I'd be very confused as to why they printed "Molson's" upside-down on the can...

PaWolf, I love your posts for the most part. Very entertaining. But don't we have like 250 million in this country? That would mean less than 1/2% of the population has bought this product. Is it unreasonable to think you are not acquainted with one out of every 200 people nationwide? Doubt it. |

I understand and fully agree with your point - I expected it...

I'd be willing to give an inversion table the benefit of the doubt. I've sat in anti-gravity (or zero-gravity) chairs, and they are wonderful for the back! I just wish I could afford one of those chairs!

I think Mr. TEETer needs to market an anti-gravity device for boobs. THAT one I'd look into!

My ex-husband used to say that if I went jogging, I'd literally knock myself out. So I'm not too sure about the inversion aspect, but I wouldn't mind some help with the gravity. |

My Dad has one of these! The first time I was home after he got it, he hadn't mentioned it, so I was innocently walking through the house and passed by the door of the family room . . . where out of the corner of my eye I saw my Father, apparently suspended mid-air, upside down like a bat!
My point is, if you get one of these, it's only polite to tell your children and/or spouse before using it. |

Yeah, he recommends it. He got one that allows him to hang straight and do sort of curl-ups. He did research before buying one (like Tiz says, they can get pricey) and the Teeter Hang-Ups was the one he chose. He had also tried a weird traction device where he had his chin in a sling, but that takes a lot of setting up and suspending a counterweight, etc, and this thing you just put into the corner when you're done. Either way, if a stranger saw into our house while he was using one of those, they would think we were insane. I keep saying I'm going to get a picture of my Dad in the Inversion Table and my Mom in the inflatable air suit that helps her circulation. (Think of an infant snow suit - she has two leg pieces and one arm piece, and she puts them on and they inflate.) They make quite a pair. |
